Q&A with Derek Landy and Eoin Colfer — Easons' Department 51 at Liberty Hall, Dublin 19 October 2019. Retrieved 4 April 2021. I had hoped there would be more scenes with Skulduggery's siblings, as they seem like very intelligent fellows, with the same sarcastic and stupid humour as Skulduggery does. Peccant being Skulduggery's brother surprised me, but I guess Landy will just make up new stuff as he goes along. The Wonderful Adventures of Geoffrey Scrutinous: (5–6) Set after Mortal Coil, Geoffrey Scrutinous and Skulduggery Pleasant search for Elwood Satchel. Originally included in Mortal Coil. In June 2011 Landy posted on his blog that he would be writing a short story about Skulduggery called The End of the World. [29] It was released in late February 2012 to coincide with World Book Day 2012. The Australian release of this novella came with an additional short story titled Just Another Friday Night. Deleted scenes from Skulduggery Pleasant were included. It is set a few months after Death Bringer. It was included in the 2014's short story collection.Set between Mortal Coil and Death Bringer, the novella Apocalypse Kings was published in February 2021. The other reveals, namely, Solace's parentage, weren't really dealt with as well, but oh well. A lot of people saw it coming, and that entire plotline was a bit of a mess. Landy, Derek (30 March 2023). "So I am meeting Derek Landy again tomorrow — does anyone here have any questions they would like me to ask on their behalf?". Reddit . Retrieved 30 March 2023. Derek Landy: Everyone also had Harry Potter wands, Skulduggery having a wand that was a magnifying glass to focus his fire.

Also, people are complaining about Omen being "revealed" as Sebastian through a typo earlier on, but I'm pretty sure that was intentional. Because by that point, it was made plenty obvious to the reader who he was. Also, platonic ‘I love you’s are so underrated and underused and I want to see more of them in everything.

Gold, Babies and the Brothers Muldoon: (2–3) Set after Playing with Fire, The Muldoons kidnap babies and hold them to ransom. Originally included in Playing with Fire. Landy's usual way of starting random plotlines, a convoluted mess of bullshit, was once again very entertaining to read. There is no expense spared by Landy in this book and I would have to say that everyone who could be bothered to read it, would definitely be drawn into it and certainly enjoy it. (...) Something for everyone and everything for someone, Skulduggery Pleasant is easily my book of the year so far. Read it! [45]

It’s mentioned that Omen has a girlfriend at the end of the book. It isn’t mentioned what her name is, or how they met, or anything about her. Just that she exists. Omen’s girlfriend can join Skulduggery’s deceased wife and child in no-name limbo as they are props for the male leads first and their own people second. Seriously, Landy. Give them names. It won’t take long. In a matter of days, the world will change. Billions of lives will be wiped away in a final, desperate search for Alice, the Child of the Faceless Ones – she who is destined to bring about the return of humankind's ancient overlords. To prevent this, Skulduggery Pleasant and Valkyrie Cain have one last – terrible – option: the assassination of Damocles Creed. With protests stirring in the magical city of Roarhaven, with riots and revolutions on the horizon, Valkyrie must decide who she wants to be: the hero who risks everything for a noble ideal, or the killer who sacrifices her own soul for the fate of humanity. The decision must be made, and time is running out. [28] Until the End [ edit ] Most concerning of all, you said this “might be the best Skulduggery book”. was this for ego stroking, or have you recently suffered a concussion and forgot that Death Bringer exists? (.... and TDOTL and KOTW and DD and LSODM and TFO and MC and PWF and—) I think this messy and convoluted book, both amazes and annoys me, as Landy manages to play 4D chess, and at the same time, he introduces plotlines and characters who don't have any relevancy to the plot at all.Skulduggery Pleasant won the Red House Children's Book Award, [40] the Bolton Children's Book Award [41] and the Staffordshire Young Teen Fiction Award. [42] The book was also recommended for confident readers (9+) by the Richard & Judy Children's Book Club in 2007. It also won the Portsmouth Book Awards in 2008, having been selected by school children in Portsmouth, as well as winning Irish book of the decade in 2010.
